Question posted by TimF0639 on December 6, 2019

Generally speaking, Office Applications require the use of connectors as their UI controls are ones that we do not currently have translators built for. Your mileage may vary on how much you can interrogate and work with from an adapter. I have not...

Yes. Pega Robotics can load deployment packages from local or network shares and does not need Pega Robot Manager (PRM) to provide them. The advantage with PRM though is much better flexibility in deployment and package management. In addition, using...

You may have configured Runtime to connect to Pega Robot Manager. Check to see if it is enabled in your CommonConfig.xml. By default, this is located in %ProgramData%\Pegasystems. Incidentally; if you are not using Robot Manager to deploy, then you&...

Number of controls to a Web Adapter

Question posted by Shane Sody on December 5, 2019

I have a performance question about Web Adapters. Is there a limit to the number of controls that you can have with a Web Adapter? I have noticed with my Web Adapter that the interrogated web page's load speed has severely decreased since adding a fe ...

The matching process will always be slower in interrogation than in Runtime because of the overhead of drawing the matching in the UI (and whatever else Studio has to display). Adding more controls will decrease the speed with which all of the controls...

Being a long time user of Pega Robotics/OpenSpan I have my reasons for chossing number 1 (GetClones and extracting a proxy). The reason I would choose this is because it is visually self-explanatory. GetClones returns and array of objects You are...

I did everything but in vain. I could not see the entry point option. It means the entry point is present but is not visible. Sometimes when we undo things while adding exit points we come across this issue. It is actually corrupting that particular...

I have not worked with this emulator (at least I don't remember anyway). If it supports HLLAPI and you provide the text adapter the correct short session name and the correct HLLAPI dll, then it should connect in my experience. I can't really...
